[Evaluation of the state of systemic and local cellular immunity using loading tests].

Local and systemic cellular immunity parameters of the blood and gastrointestinal mucosa were studied in 165 children suffering from chronic gastritis, duodenitis, celiac, secondary malabsorption syndrome, and phosphate diabetes by spontaneous E-RFC method with a number of loading tests in vitro. Thymalin, theophylline, cold incubation were used. Three types of T lymphocyte response were distinguished: the hypoergic, resistant, and hyperergic. To make the interpretation of the findings easier, coefficients were calculated for each type of response of the blood and gastrointestinal mucosa immunocompetent cells.
